To the bright-eyed girl who didn't understand a thing
Not because she didn't care,
But because she didn't need to
Instead of perfume,
her mother covered herself in whiskey.
Instead of cologne,
her dad wore *****
And it wasn't a tragedy,
it was simply normal.
Until she realized that ****** fists and slamming doors
had no place in a home.
And that maybe
just maybe
her house was never really a home.
Because ignorance is bliss.
And if you don't understand
that some things are right
and some are wrong
everything is still just okay
To the bright-eyed girl who didn't know
that her childhood was ripped away
until it was too late
